So, who else got "cleaned" in the OM house cleaning party? - The Orange Mane

DomCasual · 08-09-2007, 09:37 PM

GonzoLays is obviously gone. His last post was on 7/25 - anyone know if he's coming back?

freak6 hasn't posted since the 24th. Is he out of here, or did he just crawl into a hole somewhere for awhile?

The smell is slowly dissipating around here.

Anyone else that's MIA?

I believe freak is serving a 60-day ban. I have no idea about Gonzo. You'll have to ask TJ.

Gonzo is on a 60 day break and his didn't get reduced. His last straw was making light of the girl killed playing softball.

That was awful. I would have dropped the life time ban.

So why did Freak666 get banned?

He went off on angry insulting rants in a political thread ... with Taco John and SoCal of all people. As I recall, he was warned.

I have a soft spot for freak though, because I think people and politicians should be MORE ANGRY at Bush/Cheney, not less. And freak definitely does fill that niche

codeman and spdirty are worse than him overall.

Agreed. Freak has a reason for why he is the way he is. I get it. I don't have any issues with him. I wasn't on the thread where Freak melted down. I don't know any of the facts other that he got GOT.

I have mixed feelings about Freak. On one hand I'm sure he's probably a decent guy, but his know it all attitude and the way he tries to belittle everyone who disagrees with him gets really damn annoying. That, and he goes really far out of his way to stir the pot.

Maybe someday he'll grow up.

DomCasual · 08-13-2007, 03:36 AM

Do a search for "mormon" under his username and you'll see all you need to be able to understand why I don't care for freak. I don't get into discussing religion. I especially don't get into discussing it with someone whose sole intent is to offend. On top of that, I get barraged with (unreturned) PMs, basically mocking my faith. Not cool. Not cool at all.

I guess I see a person's faith as undebatable. On top of that, in my book, it's off-limits unless advice is solicited.

Thats what did it for me. He was seeking out people of the morman faith just to try and start ****. It was way over the line and told me all I needed to know about the guy.

End of story there... Harrassment like that is always grounds for bannings, if not lifetime bans IMO...

Marines normally don't get soft assignments in Iraq so I tend to cut him slack. I don't know if he's on his second or third time out here. Normally Marines are kind of nuts and have strong loves and hates. Most of the time it's not rational but it's something peculiar to themselves. I think it's amazing that Mock can say all manner of foul thing and be totally adulated but Freak other posters get castigated. I guess I haven't been around nice people all my life so some things I just take with a grain of salt. We have some solid church going Christians who do not realize how bad some of things are they say but because it's not popularly know they get overlooked because they can quote scripture and don't say anything of substance. I'm not pleading mercy for this man. I'm just saying...

If freak posts about 60,000 more times and ends up in a coma from eating bad peanut butter, he can be adulated, too. Until then, he's just a douchebag.

Just my opinion, of course.

I'll second your motion. I'll give freak a "pass go" due to his situation. I know he goes "overboard" at times, but considering....I'm ok with it.
Mock IS allowed to go off in his drunken rants without comment, aside from humorous replies about his inebriated state.
Slap and his comments are in the same league, but he doesn't have the mental stress which Freak endures on a daily basis.

Just my humble opinion. Hell I go into attack mode at times. Deserving to the recipient, but it's still an attack!
Stone me if you like, I really don't give one IOTA!

Double standards

I wonder the same thing myself sometimes. I mean yeah his trolling is not totally banable but when he attacked Kaylors virginity and religion I just thought he was going for a break. But maybe if I was a mod I would be too trigger happy with him myself.

Yes it is.

I've always been a country music fan but since I moved away from the city I've adopted a new motto in life.

This guy sums it up nicely. I can't tell you how many people I've written off or stopped helping who've wasted my time and energy. Not anymore.

To those people I say.........

"You do your thing I'll do mine" It's a great way to live!

Artist/Band: Montgomery Gentry
Lyrics for Song: You Do Your Thing

Put me on a mountain, way back in the backwoods
Put me on a lake with biggin on the line
Put me 'round a campfire cookin' something I just cleaned
You do your thing, I'll do mine

I ain't tradin' in my family's safety
Just to save a little gas
And I'll pray to God any place, any time
And you can bet I'll pick up the phone if Uncle Sam calls me up
You do your thing, I'll do mine

Hey, I'll worry about me
You just worry about you
And I'll believe what I believe
And you can believe what you believe too

I ain't gonna spare the rod
Cuz that ain't what my daddy did
And I sure know the difference between wrong and right
You know, to me it's all just common sense
A broken rule, a consequence
You do your thing, I'll do mine

Hey, I'll worry about me
You just worry about you
And I'll believe what I believe
And you can believe what you believe too

I'm gonna keep on working hard
Make my money the old-fashioned way
I don't wanna piece of someone else's pie
I don't wanna piece of nobody else's pie
If I don't get my fill on life I ain't gonna blame no one but me
You do your thing, I'll do mine

You ain't gonna be my judge
Cuz my judge will judge us all one day
You do your thing, I'll do mine

broncocalijohn · 08-13-2007, 06:12 AM

Freak is a socialist. I have had debates on politics and it is always about the poor. Screw everyone else. Of course this isnt a banning offense (but close

) . Gonzolays is a type A ahole. He brings it on to irk and glad TJ didnt waste much time. I just hope next time is for good.

What I found difficult, was that no matter the topic -- he would ignore the content and launch into his routine and ignore any question or thought-out response --like everyone on the board was put on ignore -- Some Mormon must have taken his lunch money in the past -- in any case the weirdest level of hatred I have EVER seen in a poster.... and the only one I have ever put on ignore after many chances.

BroncoBuff · 08-13-2007, 12:26 PM

There certainly seems to be, in my experience, a pretty fair number of people who have deep, deep hostility toward Mormons. I've met several people who seem preoccupied by it, and it's practically all they wanna talk about. There are tons of anti-Mormon books too.

Personally, I was raised Catholic, and I freely acknowledge the Church has done pretty rotten things throughout history ... and a pretty fair number of both lapsed and observant Catholics seem very troubled indeed.

On the other hand, I've been in Provo twice as a reporter, I've twice visited the Mormon Polynesian Cultural Center on the north side of Oahu, and have met and encounted several Mormons elsewhere in my life - including here on the Mane. On the whole, they seem to me to have a special kind of 'aura' about them for lack of a better word. There's a 'cleanliness' to them (again, metaphorical and for lack of a better word.) Even that guy on Jeopardy seem to have something special.

Can't say I'm ready to convert (I love coffee too much), but there is something there.
